Link Apple Music and iCloud storage to your Apple ID

If you added Apple Music or iCloud storage to your new Apple device when you purchased it in an Apple Store, on apple.com, or through the Apple Store App, you must link them to your Apple ID before you can begin to use them.

You can link Apple Music or iCloud storage to your Apple ID1 in one of four ways:

In the Setup steps that appear when you first turn on your device.

When you open either iCloud settings or the Music app for the first time.

For iCloud storage, you might receive an email with instructions before you receive your new device.

You can also choose "no thanks" to dismiss this notification permanently.

If you don’t see an option to link services

In certain situations, you won't see the option to link services, especially if you already have that service. For example, if you already subscribe to Apple Music, you don’t need to link anything to your Apple ID.
